| Obverse lettering | 1 P Y 725 (Translation: 1 Real Potosi Diego de Ybarbourou 1725) |
| Reverse description | Two crowned Pillars of Hercules rising from stylized waves, flanking the royal motto PLVS VLTRA on the central line. The face value appears at the top of the field between the mintmark (P) and the assayer's initial (Y), while the date is placed at the bottom between the assayer's initial and the mintmark, reversing the order. The overall composition follows the standard design of Spanish colonial macuquina coinage struck for the Potosí mint during the reign of Louis I, with the irregular outline and variable surface relief inherent to hammered cob production. |
